THE inventor of the chestnut bell was
before the Patent Office the other day
endeavoring TO patent an improvement
on his previous atrocious invention.
The improvement consists of an attach
ment which will probably give a new
lease of life to the now obsolete chest
nut bell. The new device consists of
an elastic band connected with the bell,
fastened to the other side of the waist
coat. When the bell is struck min
iature rat runs across the breast of the
wearer and stops in full view of the
victim. To make it more effective the
word Rats" is inscribed on the rat.
The patent officials refused to grant a
patent on the word Rats" but acted
favorably on the other features of the
device.

PROF. THOMAS DALE resides near
Catlin, Vermillion County, ILL.,, and, as
his title indicates, is member of the
pedagogue fraternity. Some years ago
he had occasion to whip one of the big
girls, which he is said to have done
with no sparing hand. Her parents
denounced the iogging as high
handed outrage and promptly caused
the teacher arrest. He was arraigned
in court, tried, convicted and fined,
but the patrons of the school con-
tributed the necessary funds to secure
his release. Time has since then
worked wondrous changes, and the an
nouncement is now made that the mar
riage of the Professor and his refrac-
tory pupil will occur in the near future.
